"Our little Big Day!!"
My wife and I stayed at the Druids Glen for 5 days in late August. We were joined by close family and friends and got married in the Oscar Wilde suite in a humanistic ceremony during our stay.
The hotel staff and management could not have been more helpful or accommodating. In particular, Nessa, Orlaigh, Eoghan and Pavel were amazing dealing with the many hurdles that presented themselves due to COVID restrictions and storm Ellen, there are many other members of the team but I cannot recall their names, thank you.
Aidan (resort manager/ director) was incredible throughout our stay and his professionalism and charismatic approach was noted by all our guests.
The food throughout our stay was exceptional including the day of the wedding and although we were only a small party in numbers, our many special dietary request were met to the full satisfaction of all ( gluten free, vegan, plain eaters).
The hotel is set on vast woodland estate with two world class golf courses and nice walkways that are easy to follow from the hotel door , the complimentary umbrellas were a great addition one morning. I played golf on the Glen course and the man in the pro shop could not have been more accommodating. The green fees were very reasonable and in my opinion the course played better than any in the country. I was enviously viewed the many golfers who passed by our suite window over the course of our stay as I didn’t get to play again.
As we were busy with the guests we did not visit the spa but were informed that it was extremely busy which indicates it’s credibility. The pool and gym was open with restrictions but was easy to access through booking.
Our wedding day (week) that looked like a mission impossible was made possible because of Nessa and Aiden. From the outset Nessa was so helpful with arranging photographers, florists, make people and everything for us locally, on the day she was again amazing. Aidan and his team worked through power outages caused by the storms to deliver an amazing day and he even ensured that all the hair and make up was in order by setting up a pop up salon in a back room.
Some oversees guest could not attend but the hotel were very helpful setting up and letting us have these people attend through video link. Again thank you !!
This venue is the perfect location for either a small intimate wedding like ours or a larger gathering. It has customer service at its core with professionalism and charm at the forefront. We will definitely continue to visit this Wicklow diamond.
